OK. That shouldn't need much from this team, it's just about when the blendsel stuff is in d-i builds. I *don't* plan on doing anything to ensure that all the required packages are available on media, though - IMHO that would shuffle things around too much for other users. If you want the blends selection to work flawlessly, then you'll either need a larger set of images or a net connection to find a mirror.
